<quoted text>Ans.01. Love is the most misused word on this planet, this becomes clear after reading your post!!To start with God does not has any Son or Daughter, whom He sacrificed to save mankind. This is very non natural and weird kind of love, which we can attribute to God.God's love is true love which has right balance of Justice and anger.02. Now coming to love which we humans have towards another, there is also a straight love which I call a Natural love, and some which in perversion and lust which I can a non natural love.03. The love between male and female who are married to each other is a true and natural love and every effort should be make to encourage and strengthen that bond.04. The same is love and affection which parents feel towards each other and what we feel towards our kin folks and our neighbours.This is love which has no intention of sexual relations.05. But there is some sort of non natural love and some sort of lust, which causes illicit sexual acts and relationship.For example:- "Love" that leads to incest, feeling of sexual intentions towards close relatives.- "Love" that one has towards any women which is married to another man.- "Love" between Sodomites and LesbiansTo call these perversions as love and try to tolerate them or encourage them, is misusing the word "Love"…which is the most misused and most misunderstood word on this planet.God's Love for His creature is True Love which is free from all perversions.

I'm not a very religious person, and I haven't read the bible in my life, but I heard that somewhere in there it says Divorce is also a sin?Correct me if I'm wrong ....

Matthew 19:4-6 (NASB) And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, 5 and said,'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'? 6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

There have been a number of claims that the locations of Sodom, Gomorrah and the other cities of the plain in the Genesis story had been found, but other than uncovering the ruins of one more of the multiple attempts to bring civilization to the area. NONE offer anything resembling conclusive proof of having been any of the five cities in the story in the story, let alone having been destroyed by a rain of fire and brimstone.

Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 - If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them.

Romans 1:26-27 - For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

I Timothy 1:8-11 (NASB)- "But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted."

Not yet.

I've followed Biblical archeology for decades. One confirmation of Biblical history after another.

<quoted text>Hi Booots. Nice to know you're still alive and well, and not nearly senile as yet :)What you hear about Muslim countries is not lies, but bias, and it's important to grasp the difference. Indeed there are cases of honour killings in Muslim countries, there are cases of murder, rape, paedophilia, forced arranged marriage, women abuse, misogyny, and many other atrocious cases. There are cases where the law fails horribly to provide justice, where the law is so shockingly turned onto its head, that the victim get punished. There are cases.But what people need to realise, is that while there are many cases of such things happening, it is a small blip in relation to the cases of people living civilised, loving, caring and decent lives, and justice being carried out.People have this tendency, when they watch the news, and they see one case of crime, and another and another and another, and then they begin to believe that this is becoming the norm of that particular country or society. And that is a huge fallacy, because while you may see thousands of atrocious incidents that have happened, that is nothing compared to the millions, or hundreds of millions of cases where people just live normal lives, working and caring for their families as best they can.Just in January this year I was in Saudi Arabia. We checked in our hotel in Medina and we were waiting to be taken to our room. We sat in a lounge area near two women. And next thing, these women started talking to us. Just small talk, where we are from and whether we here first time. Stuff like that. They told us they were Saudi women. I was shocked they were talking to us, like any other women back home in South Africa. And I got very scared. In my mind I had this notion that I must not talk to any Saudi women, otherwise I'll be arrested and God knows what else. Yet now, I'm looking at their faces, they looking at my face, and we are talking. I was horrified. I thought anytime now, their men will come and drag them off and whip them and probably behead me for intermingling and looking at their faces. That is what we see on the news. As you may also think, Saudi women cover their faces completely. Or so we are led to believe.And yet it turned out to be a normal conversation. And we had to ask them, about all our misconceptions. I was so surprised I had to ask. And I told them what we thought and they looked at us like we are so silly. They told us, all these sick things like honour killings, paedophilia, misogyny, all happens in these isolated rural tribal towns in Saudi Arabia. Everyone else is just normal. And I've seen it. They even got parks in the desert which I found quite surprising, and the men take the wife and kids to parks, and they run and play like any other good father and husband would do for his family.I was ashamed that I had such a low opinion of Saudi people and it was an opinion formed because of the news.continued next post

Longed to read more about the country where I live temporarily, and the fact that I am a homosexual who find all welcomed by their loved ones, but in secret so as not to be said about the country that they allow such behavior, for the existence of substantial number of fans homosexuality

Adolf, bubbeleh, the only messiah complex in this discussion is your own. I'm not here to save you, just to poke you with a sharp stick every once and a while as you bob (pun intended) obliviously like a cork, up to your lower lip in the water. You gotta get out on your own at this point in the discussion, sweetie. You got way too much baggage to be lifting.
